It’s been roughly 5 years since I’ve drawn pixel art, and yet I felt ambitious enough to take on a commission with the largest canvas I’ve ever drawn pixel art on - 1920x1080 pixels!

The scenery in the window is interchangeable thanks to the magic of layers! The original request from the commissioner was of a scene that had an evening/night feel, so I felt that twilight was the appropriate default here.
